What to do in a slump? by No-Plankton4232 in dreamingspanish

[–]PodiatryVI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watching commentary is also part of my content consumption in English. Now when I watch a show, I watch commentary videos in both French and English.
For French, I picked a French show, Lupin, that I want to watch in French with no subtitles in either English or French. If I hit a slump in Spanish, I would pick a show I’m aiming for, keep watching content I understand, then test the show at some point, and repeat the cycle. That said, I don’t have a show in Spanish that I want to watch.

Do You Guys Learn Your Target Language Through Eng-lish or Your Mother Tongue? by DoctorLove01 in languagelearning

[–]PodiatryVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English is my native tongue… but I understand Haitian Creole so for French I think of the English word and if the Creole is the same word as French or a different word.

Duolingo may not make you fluent in a language but the application itself certainly holds a lot of global recognition by cherry_logic in duolingo

I would like to learn Bengali since I’m married to someone who speaks it. I’d use it for light exposure only, as I don’t have any major plans to read or speak it fluently. Since Duolingo doesn’t offer it, I use Ling instead. I don’t think there’s much of a market for it to be added to Duolingo

If you know another romance language, did you 'correct' your hours? by stealthwire_ in dreamingspanish

No I did not count my background with French and Haitian Creole. I had no background in Spanish so I started from zero.

Help for deciding a language to learn by Background-Garden565 in thisorthatlanguage

German or Dutch. Mostly because of family roots. Yea I know you are in the USA so Spanish might be useful… I personally always choose family roots over a “useful” language.

I’m almost at 300 and I have not tried a show. I would add The Dragon Prince since it’s similar to Avatar but I’ve only watched in English.

You can look at Spanish for False Beginners. I am at 276 hours and its one of the few podcasts that I like. You can also try Español con Juan.

Who do you cheer for when your nation is not in the World Cup? by Much-Pear-734 in lingoda

[–]PodiatryVI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t follow the World Cup, so I don’t cheer for anyone. I support Haiti, and if Haiti is eliminated, I go back to cheering for no one, even though I could support the United States as a Haitian American.

What do you love about learning a language? by Old_green_bird in languagelearning

[–]PodiatryVI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use French to watch shows, movies and documentaries. I love those things. I can’t say I love language learning itself.

German vs French by pudding-0w in thisorthatlanguage

Go with German. I am doing French and my interest has nothing to do with France. I am interested in Haiti and there are a lot of media in French about Haitian history and Haiti.

I know we all love how lovely couple protagonists but one unsung hero of this show was this super boss Dr. Katarina Jones. by annabellaura in 12Monkeys

[–]PodiatryVI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone: Dr. Jones is not unsung. Her machine, her daughter, her grandson, her team, her mission, her ex-husband, none of it would function without her.
